My photographic adventures on the other side of the world

Making fantasy reality

It’s that time of year again. Fantasy Basel time to be precise! I’ve been waiting for this weekend ever since I left the event hall last year, but unfortunately it wasn’t quite the same this time around. It is still the place where people can happily get dressed up as their favourite fictional characters to the wonderment and joy of other show goers, but in my view some of the magic was lost this year. Whether it was the expansion into more halls, the sheer number of attendees, or just some indeterminable personal feeling, I ended up leaving the event with just a handful of photos and only just the slightest amount of interest in attending next year. Looking back on the photos now, I find that most of them are just slightly out of focus (front focused). Whether that is an issue with the camera/lens combination or an operator error is something that I’ll have to investigate further. Oh well, I suppose you can’t win all the time.
